"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

*We are no longer able to accept dental products and yoghurt suckies that aren’t WASHED and DRIED with hot soapy water.
Due to the nature of a product you put in your mouth to use we can’t risk ourselves or the staff at the recycling centre.
PLEASE WASH AND DRY all these items before dropping them off.
The best way to do this is to pop toothbrushes in the top rack of your dishwasher and cut the toothpaste and yoghurt pouches at the base and let the tap run through them and then add to a sink of hot water and dish soap to remove any germs.
I am sad to say Fonterra are no longer funding recycling of their products. The Collective brand will still be recycling their own containers and suckies.
For more information about any of the recycling schemes please take a look at the posters I have attached or feel free to contact me with any questions at predatorfreelyallbay@gmail.com
Don't forget we now recycle plastic writing instruments (that's pens, markers and mechanical pencils) so maybe set up a collection at your workplace and help save the environment, your school/work and help Predator Free Lyall Bay.
Thank you!

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.

In an emergency, your household may have to care for yourselves and your pets for up to 7 days until water distribution points are set up. If an earthquake hit it may be even longer before water service is restored.
Get prepared and buy your water tank from the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill – and remember to refresh the water twice a year.

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.
Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.
Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.
Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.
We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here
